I was Reincarnated as the Youngest Child of a Villainous Noble Family Who Controls the Kingdom from Behind the Scenes

"Did you notice?"

When I woke up, I found myself lying on a bed in the school infirmary.

Still feeling groggy, I looked around and saw Lin-Lin there.

In the back, the health teacher was writing something, but when they noticed I was awake, they looked relieved.

"Lin-Lin-sensei!

Alphiss-kun has woken up!"

"Ah, as expected of my excellent student."

"He was out for a whole day, and I was so worried..."

I had been asleep for that long?

Thinking that, I tried to move my body, but—

"Ouch, ouch, ouch...!"

My entire body was in excruciating pain.

The strain on my body from using wave energy was immense.

But this was just like how someone who isn’t used to exercising gets sore muscles—it’s a matter of getting used to it.

The reason I lost consciousness was because the strain from the wave energy was too much.

So from now on, I’ll have to gradually get my body accustomed to it.

And, of course, I also overused my magic and body during the fight with the Emperor Worm.

That erratic movement was ridiculously hard to keep up with.

It’s frustrating, but I need to rest a bit more—

"Worm Kiiiiiiiss!"

"Whoa!"

Sliding out from under the bed was Miley-neechan.

I managed to dodge her kiss attack, but she wrapped herself around me and wouldn’t let go.

This girl, she’s using magic to turn half her body into liquid.

And because of the water pressure, I can’t shake her off.

"Why are you even here!?"

"Becauseeeee! I heard you collapsed, so of course I came!"

"The information travels way too fast. As expected of the Balfonte family."

"I heard you defeated that Emperor Worm, Alphiss ! Big sis was so moved and shocked that she fainted! For a whole day!"

Wait, she was under the bed for a whole day and even fainted?

I don’t know when that happened, and the timing doesn’t add up, but whatever.

The bigger problem is that she won’t let go.

"Hey, get off me. I’m injured here."

"I’m healing you with Aqua Heal while hugging you."

"Tch! Just because there’s a reason doesn’t make it any less annoying! I can’t even grab you because you’re water!"

"That’s because I’m a drop-dead gorgeous woman."

"Shut up!"

While this was going on, Lushiel, Lilisha, and Letitia entered the infirmary.

This situation could easily lead to misunderstandings, but there’s nothing I can do about it.

"A-Alphiss -sama! You’re awake… ahhh! Miley! You’re being indecent again! Let go of him!"

"What’s going on here!?"

"Please get away from Alphiss -sama!"

The three of them tried to pull my sister off, but it was no use.

The fact that I’m recovering while this is happening just makes it even more frustrating.

They’re all tangled up with my sister, and I’m not even sure how many people are on this bed now.

"My, my, Lushiel-chan and the others, are you classmates? Alfis has been in your care. I’m his sister, Miley."

"M-Miley? The one who became the director of the National Magic Research Institute at such a young age… and is famous for it!?"

"You must be Lilysha-san. I’ve heard of the prestigious Persifam family. I’ve also heard that their young lady is exceptionally talented…"

"My, my, as expected of the Balfonte family. I think we’ll get along just fine."

Don’t get charmed so easily!

More importantly, I’d like you to get off me soon.

"U-um! Miley-san… isn’t this a bit inappropriate?"

"Don’t act like you don’t like it, .Leticia  And as for the young lady of the Persifam family…Alphiss , you’re not so innocent either. You pass."

"Huh?"

"Which girl becomes your main wife is up to Alfis, though!"

"Whaaaaaaaat!?"

The girls were stunned by Miley-neechan’s outrageous statement.

It’s infuriating, but there’s no way I can stop Miley-neechan.

She’s always gotten away with anything since forever.

When she became the director of the Magic Research Institute at just 10 years old, she kicked out all the resident security mages.

Her reason? She just wanted to play with magic.

She took over a national facility for such a ridiculous reason and, under the guise of experiments, made an entire mountain disappear.

And when she got bored, she handed the reins to someone else and now she’s like this.

Despite all that, the numerous magical inventions from Miley-neechan’s experiments have greatly contributed to the capital.

The healing fountain in the center of the capital and the public baths with restorative effects were all developed by Miley-neechan.

Of course, her only reason for doing any of it was "because it seemed fun."

Even though she acts so carelessly, her contributions to the country are undeniable—a testament to the talent of the Balfonte family.

*Ahem*… Everyone, especially Miley, could you please get off now? This is, after all, a sacred school infirmary."

"Lin-Lin-sensei, why don’t you join us?"

"I’ll pass."

Finally, Miley-neechan slid off me.

At the same time, Lilysha and the others, who had been tangled up, fell to the floor.

"Ouch… seriously, what incredible magical power. As expected of the Balfonte family…"

"But it wasn’t so bad…"

"Huh?"

Letitia’s cheeks were red, and I had a feeling she was heading in a dangerous direction.

Then, Lin-Lin cleared his throat again.

"Alphiss , you’ve worked hard this time. Miley was just worried about you, so don’t take it the wrong way."

"That’s just how I am."

Don’t say that yourself, you idiot.

Even with such a hopeless sister, Lin-Lin still manages to cover for her. He’s truly a model teacher.

"It was the school’s failure to not detect the approach of the Emperor Worm. The student council is not at fault either. As a teacher, I apologize for having to rely on a student to handle the situation."

"You don’t have to be so formal. It was a good experience for me."

"I’m glad to hear you say that. Later, the headmaster and the student council will also apologize."

"You really don’t have to go that far."

At that moment, the infirmary door slammed open, and Galeo burst in.

"Ooooooh! First-year! You’re safe! I knew it! That’s my junior for you!"

"Galeo-senpai, you’re being a bit too much."

"Good, good, aaaaaah!"

Galeo-senpai was crying tears of joy over my safety.

He’s not a bad guy at heart. Just a bit annoying.@@novelbin@@

Following him, the student council members, including the president, filed in.

"Alphiss ,this time…"

"Ah, enough with the apologies already. I’m still tired, so let me rest."

"Right, my apologies."

I pulled the blanket over my head and burrowed under it.

I wanted to reflect on the battle and think about various things.

But this turned out to be a bad move.

"Big sis will sleep with you."

"I didn’t ask for that. Go away."

"Lilysha-chan,  pincessLeticia, Lushiel-chan. Feel free to join anytime, okay?"

"Seriously, get lost."

Miley-neechan crawled under the blanket with me.

Surely the other three wouldn’t join, right?

But thenLeticia grabbed one of my hands, and Lilysha took the other.

"D-don’t get the wrong idea! It’s not like I like you or anything! I just don’t want to let go!"

"Alphiss -sama, I will always adore you…"

"Miley! Get away from Alfis-samaaa!"

Hey, isn’t there something seriously wrong with this situation?

Lushiel is the only one trying to pull Miley-neechan off, but the others are all red in the face!

They must have a fever or something. Right?
